FARMINGTON — The FBI and Navajo Department of Criminal Investigations are investigating a woman's death in an apparent hit-and-run on U.S. Highway 64 in Hogback, according to a Navajo Police Department press release.

A bus driver for Central Consolidated School District reported at 7:12 a.m. Monday that a body was located near mile marker 29 1/2 on the east side of U.S. Highway 64 in Hogback, the release states.

Navajo police responded and found scattered debris from a vehicle at the scene. The woman's body was located off the roadway and was cold to the touch, according to the release.

Police have not been able to identify the woman, the release states. FBI spokesman Frank Fisher said in an email Tuesday that the woman was in her 30s. Navajo police said the woman was wearing capri-style blue jeans, a blue shirt and a black sweater-type garment at the time of her death.

Anyone who recalls seeing anything suspicious in the area between 7 p.m. Sunday and 5 a.m. Monday is asked to call the FBI at 505-889-1300 or the Navajo Department of Criminal Investigation at 505-368-1300.
